"All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"-Cave Johnson

I feel like half of what goes on in this forum involves people arguing about fish.

Hi yes, hello. I've been trying to get the hang of playing on a set of Donkey Konga bongos. I've got the hang of waveshining into double laser 360 half pipe bananarama, but I'm having a hard time smash attacking. How loud should I be clapping?

The problem isn't used games (... Microsoft disagrees ._.), it's how Gamestop has specifically monopolized it. It's how you'll find a used version of a recently released game right ****in' next to it on the shelves. It's how the system they use is a shitton of garbage which takes advantage of propaganda-fed consumers. Not t' mention the fact that Gamestop wouldn't be in bloody business if they suddenly lost used games as a profitable business venture. 60%~ of their profit comes outta the gaming companies' pockets.

Again, you miss the point. All stores hire their fair share of douchebags avoidable or otherwise, but Gamestop is infamous for hirin' shitty employees. Their workers probably have the same average on-the-job incompetency as your typical shithole fast food joint in NYC. A few gems in the rough here 'n there don't make a claim worth mining.

If it weren't for Gamestop's monopoly on video game retailing, you'd be able t' get these gems at a cheaper price (and in regards t' used, in better quality) in other stores that ain't utter shit. Gamestop is shit. Don't excuse said shit just because it's the only option. 'Specially when it's not the damn only option, why the hell don't you shop online? The fact that you're a PC gamer who doesn't shop online deeply confuses me.

Neither were mine back when I shopped there, but there's been countless claims from both disgruntled customers and more notoriously, previously-employed Gamestop workers that sneakin' used games into a "New" box is a business practice they seriously do engage in. If a used game comes back in perfect with everythin' else in said condition, all they need to do is factory re-seal it. Voila, a "new" game.
